Political arguments can be settled very easily

Arguments are very productive and healthy if both parties enter it with this mindset

“I want to agree with you but convince me”

Yesterday my business partner and I got into a disagreement about something

Here’s where it can go south.. when i’m emotionally invested and take the argument personally I just want to BE right and not focus on WHAT is right

When we were able to extract the emotion we got to the core reasoning or the disagreement and were able to come to common ground

I see this happening all the time recently of social media and other places.. people want to BE right and not focus on WHAT is right especially with all this huge division in politics

The mindset we all need to get is “I want to agree with you but convince me”
